Las Vegas is a city famed for its entertainment. There is likely a world-class show going on any given day, at any given time. Whether it is a live magic show with death-defying stunts, a famed DJ at one of the many pool bars, or a live concert from a well-known performer, Vegas is the place to be if you love a great show. While there are always shows to see in Vegas, one of the best shows the city will see this year is right around the corner. The show in question is the world-renowned Life is Beautiful festival.
The Life is Beautiful festival is one of the biggest music festivals that Vegas hosts, and it is a huge, multi-layered experience with everything from music and art to food and comedy. It is an extensive showcase of some of the world’s biggest musical acts, with every year bringing famed headliners in genres ranging from pop and rock to EDM and hip-hop. It’s been one of the highest-grossing festivals in the US before, and this year brings an exciting new lineup.
Life is Beautiful began in 2013, and the three-day festival has rapidly grown to become one of the most widely anticipated events of the year since. The event is set directly in downtown Las Vegas and was created to bring industry and economic opportunity to that traditionally undeserved area. It operates with the belief that art can change the world and that music and art can create lifelong experiences that alter perceptions. The event is a combination of music, culture, and philanthropy.
This year’s Life is Beautiful will take place from September 16th-18th in downtown Las Vegas. There is a huge lineup of incredible musicians that will be performing live across seven stages. Some of the primary headliners of this year’s festival include Calvin Harris, Arctic Monkeys, Jack Harlow, Lorde, Gorillaz, Migos, and much more. There will be dozens of performers in various genres, providing a musical experience for fans of any taste.
Life is Beautiful has never been just about the music. An array of additional components to this festival make it an extensive celebration of art and culture. The Comedy+Ideas experience is a core part of the festival. This features rising comedians and famous podcasters who host shows and discussions, with panels on an array of important topics. Because this is still a music festival, the shows often end with dance parties.
There will also be over 18 blocks of gallery space at the event. Downtown Las Vegas has a vibrant art scene, and the Life is Beautiful festival kicks things up a notch and transforms the city into its canvas. Numerous immersive exhibits will be scattered throughout the city, with local and nationally-acclaimed creators presenting uniquely appealing art. From large murals to sculptures and installations, these incredible works of art contribute to making the downtown area stand out.
Life is Beautiful is also a great occasion for the foodies out there. While most food festivals aren’t exactly known for serving up gourmet meals, Life is Beautiful is an exception. There will be more than 70 vendors serving food and drink at the festival, with renowned local chefs and mixologists. There will be a large food area where attendees can enjoy a cocktail or a meal and cool off before re-entering the wildness of the concerts.
Life is Beautiful is a Vegas festival that has quickly become an iconic part of the city’s culture in the near-decade since it began. This September, this legendary festival returns for what could be the best iteration yet.
